Schools World Service

BBC Schools World Service

The Schools World Service (SWS) offers original journalism reflecting the experiences of young people around the world.

We aim to engage schools everywhere in debate, discussion and understanding and to tell topical and relevant stories.

From the Cairo revolution to the rainforests of Ecuador, SWS looks at the world’s big stories from the perspective of young people.

Each month the project offers a new story which is provided in a format for primary and secondary age groups. SWS offers a full picture of the communities involved and challenges stereotypes.

SWS is a legacy project for London 2012, harnessing the power of sport to bring the world together.
